The Knicks defeated the Spurs 102-94 to break the opening winning streak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the twin towers, the Spurs don't have any reliable players, the outside line is a mess, and the most famous is the 178CM Avery Johnson, who is the "little general" who will be the coach in the future.

Avery is the kind of "traditional defender".

What is a traditional defender? Many fans can't accept the reality that the two-way guard is stronger for various psychological and reason, so they have this weird concept. That is, the point guard is not good at shooting and scoring, cannot push the fast attack, must have low turnovers, must press the rhythm, etc., and then give the self-created title of "No. 1 traditional point guard" to his favorite player!

There have never been traditional dividers, traditional small fronts, traditional big fronts.

There is a "traditional center", which refers to a stump-like center who relies on his teammates to feed him the ball and completes the offense through low posts or hooks.

So, fans can understand that the NBA tradition is not to shoot.

The Spurs both scored double-doubles, and the Knicks won the game by crushing from the outside. The Spurs made a three-pointer and made one of three shots, barely making any shots.

The Knicks also paid a heavy price in this game, as Larry Johnson collided with Duncan while grabbing a rebound in the third quarter, and sprained his left knee on the ground.

After an MRI examination, the Knicks officially announced that Johnson had a sprained knee ligament and would be out for four to six weeks. In fact, he is absent for at least six weeks, as a famous "glass man", even if he feels fine, who would dare to let him play after four weeks' rest?

On the 4th, the Knicks, who were missing Johnson, lost to the Dallas Mavericks led by Nelson Sr., 95-106, ending their winning streak.

Oakley started as a power forward, and his offensive power could not be compared with Johnson, he made 4 shots in the game, made 1 shot, grabbed five frontcourt boards, made 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 9 points and 7 rebounds.

With one less fierce player, the bench Starks also felt cold, shooting only 7 of 19, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and no free throws, scoring 15 points.

The core of the underdog Mavericks is Finley, Nowitzki hasn't been drafted yet, and Nash hasn't joined either.

Van Gundy wouldn't have played without one man, and Yang Rui found out that he was a dead brain, so he let Stephen Jackson sit on the sidelines for the whole game, preferring to let the aging Buck Williams play the No. 4 position off the bench to give opponents a chance.

Buck is known for his defense and has made a name for himself in the league, but he's 38 years old and can't keep up with the pace.

On the 6th, the Knicks defeated the Hornets at home to avoid a losing streak, and the team suffered another injury on the outside, Chris Childs was injured.

Childes has always been known for his defensive tenacity, and once he misplaced to defend the basket, he actually tried to jump up to block the empty Geiger, but unfortunately he was knocked away and broke his shoulder.

He was even worse this time, and he had to be out for more than six weeks.

In NBA-level confrontations, injuries are inevitable, and even if you are careful, you may still lose your troops, and people are not as good as the sky.

Back-to-back home games against the 76ers on the 7th, Starks continued to slump, and Ewing couldn't find a shooting touch, only scoring 14 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

Despite Houston's 25-point record, the Knicks suffered an upset 88-93 loss to the 76ers, who were led by two guns in the backcourt.

On a day off, the Knicks took on the Pippenless Bulls on the road and lost 91-100, suffering their first losing streak of the season.

Van Gundy's weakness on the spot is undoubtedly revealed, from 16 consecutive wins to 17 wins and 3 losses, the media's evaluation of the Knicks has taken a big turn, and some people directly spray Van Gundy for not entering the stream.

No one scolded Yang Rui, this is the benefit of assistant coaches, the sky is falling, and there is a head coach on top of it.

Who's going to be fed up and struggling to target an assistant coach? In the end, the person didn't succeed, and he had to put himself in it, and he was regarded as a psychopath by the fans.

If Van Gundy leaves class, Yang Rui will only benefit, and it is difficult to find big-name coaches during the season, and he is usually the first assistant coach. But Yang Rui is unwilling to let the wind and waves rise and sit firmly in the Diaoyutai, he hopes to see the Knicks win the best record and watch Ewing win the MVP.

As long as he identifies one thing and has a clear goal, he wants to do it well. If the Knicks fail to get the best record, even if Ewing brushes 20+10+5, the MVP will definitely not fall on him, so won't it be in vain? It's better to play more flowering tactics and not to clarify the core.

Yang Rui, who had kept a low profile for a while, knew that he had to stand up and do more, because Van Gundy really couldn't.

The teacher at the five-star training camp said that a good coach should be a master of mental adjustment, but Van Gundy kept throwing pressure on the players.

Like before the Bulls, he repeatedly said clichés like reducing turnovers and strengthening defense, is it useful to talk about this?

After the game started, Ewing's mistakes still did not improve, and his teammates could not open, so he could only jump and shoot, repeatedly unable to shoot, and there was no dominance at all. In order to brush up the data, Ewing increased his playing time, ran out of physical strength at the critical time of the fourth quarter, and repeatedly failed to grab rebounds in the backcourt, which directly led to the loss.

Ben Wallace, who was sitting on the bench, and Teddy, who was reaching maturity and straining towards the air, just didn't let him play.

A team of incompetent and exhausted thousands of troops, and played like this against Jordan's single-core Bulls, it can only be said that Van Gundy is incompetent.

Without Johnson and Childs, he is at a loss.

He did not cultivate the habit of rookies, but had a stubborn temper that ruined people. The management was optimistic about Atkins, and after the summer league, he threw out a two-year contract, and as a result, Van Gundy let him play five minutes a game, which was still garbage time.

Jackson and Moore, two potential newcomers, didn't have a chance to perform, and their bodies were slowly rusting.

What's even more infuriating is that Van Gundy was interviewed after the game and attributed the reason for the team's defeat to the player's injury and the lack of bench depth.

These are just some of the superficial issues, the most serious of which is that Van Gundy's coaching philosophy is completely wrong. He doesn't think of players as living people, but just machines, and he only has tactics and no players in his eyes. Players can only passively adapt to the tactics they have arranged, rather than teaching them according to their aptitude.

For example, Moore is obviously a bamboo pole figure, and his specialty is fast speed, strong explosiveness, and can be shot. Van Gundy saw that he had grown a big man of 211CM, so he wanted him to gain weight to resist people.

Fortunately, Garnett did not fall into the hands of Van Gundy, otherwise he might have to transform into a center forward, and if he can't bear people, he can't play, waiting to be scolded by Van Gundy.

In short, with such a coach, there is basically little hope for the growth of newcomers, unless it is a defensive player like Bowen and Ben Wallace, which is especially in line with Van Gundy's appetite.

Use it as it is taken, never cultivated, and once it makes a mistake, it is immediately pressed on the bench, Van Gundy is a representative of mechanism and utilitarianism.

That is, in this era when there are not many tactics, Van Gundy can still mix, and in the high-speed development of competitive sports in the future, he is still engaged in mechanics, and no one thinks about finding Van Gundy as a coach anymore.

At the end of the away trip and the team's holiday, Yang Rui waited for Van Gundy to come and chat with him, and the coach's brain was so stiff that the team's morale was gone.
